Henry Bradford Endicott[edit]

(

)

... that when Henry Bradford Endicott built the Endicott Estate mansion in 1904, his distant cousins in the nearby Fairbanks House did not have indoor plumbing or electricity?

@Briancua: sorry for delay. Length and size OK. Hook fact is cited to "distant cousin" but the source is this and IMO this is not reliable as I have no proof of who wrote it. Can this be found at a reliable source? Victuallers (talk) 17:09, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

@Victuallers: I thought that may be an issue. The file is now hosted on my Google Drive. It is hosted on the Town of Dedham's website, as you can see in the first Google result, but because it is a link to a download WP won't let me link to the original. The historian who wrote the script takes credit for it on his website, but the text of it is not there. Hope this is good enough. --BrianCUA (talk) 17:35, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

I have fixed the source based on your advice and its now IMO reliable. Neutral article, no close paraphrasing spotted (major offline source) Image is pre 1923 so OK. Well cited. Thanks for this Victuallers (talk) 18:13, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
